Re: Culture of tipping strongly related to cultures with high levels of corruption.

[khronos_keeper]

While an interesting piece of social science literature, I'd say there's probably a few short falls in their most basic premises.

For one, they didn't do a more extensive explanation of their research question and their data terms. They left them pretty hazy, to be honest. Defining a tip as money offered after a service is rendered is really loose; there needs to be a much tighter definition and link to social

They even raised a point that I feel they should have considered more closely- whether tipping interacts with other characteristics of a country. This is kind of problematic, because you could take any number of the characteristics that they further list, and use that as a better correlation between the prevalence of tipping and whatever else.

I agree with their general discussion in that, going by the views in this study, tips and bribes tend to be blurred. But that's because of the hazy definition they gave each data term in the beginning, in differentiating tips and bribes solely on when they are dispersed.

Interesting idea, good literature review and surveys, sloppy initial stance. Harvard, I am strangely disappoint.
